[CES 2022] AMD unveils its Ryzen 6000 series for laptops and its 7000 series for Zen 4

AMD released the heavy artillery at CES 2022. A very fit Lisa Su opened hostilities with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (8 cores for 16 threads, up to 4.5 GHz, 3D stacking technology), probably the last CPU of the 5000 series, presented here as the most powerful of the processors dedicated to the game. The perfs should be 15% higher than those of the Ryzen 5900X. For the price, we will have to wait a little longer.

The big announcement was undoubtedly the Ryzen 7000 series based on the Zen 4 architecture and engraved in 5nm (by TSMC, who else?). We change universe, and socket in passing (no socks eh) with the AM5: PCIe Gen 5, DDR5 RAM, but always great discretion on performance. AMD will undoubtedly say more before the marketing of these chips, scheduled for the second half of 2022.

Finally, AMD has confirmed that the Ryzen 6000 series will finally land on laptops. The power gain would be more than substantial (+ 11% in single-threaded and up to 28% in multi-threaded), results largely due to the Zen 3+ architecture. For the rest, these “portabilized” Ryzen 6000 will be entitled to PCIe 4, 6nm burning, and can support DDR5 memory as well as Wi-Fi 6E. That is good in short. The big bonus is the integrated GPU based on the RDNA2 architecture (also found in the PS5 and Xbox Series). AMD promises top-notch graphics performance and takes Far Cry 6 as an example, which could run in detail in medium and Full HD at 59 fps.
